Andrew Heaton completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Heaton's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Veterans - The primary supporters of my campaign have always been military personnel. I work with the military in business, and primarily former military members staff my campaign, highlighting ongoing problems where the government has failed to support them. One of the biggest issues facing our military is reintegration to the civilian society. We need to do more to support that transition by expanding the use of veterans’ courts, providing psychological help lines staffed with full time counselors, and finally ensuring all our veterans are enrolled in Tri-Care’s Continued Health Care Benefit Program as a bridge to ensure health coverage as they move into to future endeavors.
- Economy - To accomplish our policy goals and to be of use to our allies, we need to ensure we first protect our own economy. We have crippled the American international business community with massive overregulation. While certain safeguards are necessary, behemoth regulatory bureaucracies have crushed international business for all but the largest and most established companies, leaving the worldwide open to China, Iran and all the bad actors. We need to impose a sunset rule on executive agency rules that go more than a few years without congressional approval. Such an amendment to the Administrative Procedures Act would alone greatly reduce the burden of government, as well as its growth and spending.
- Education - Many of our problems grow directly out of our educational system. Thus, we need to ensure school choice for all to increase competition and ensure the best educations possible for our children—and not mere ideological indoctrination. States must be incentivized to provide parents with freedom and choices, and federal funding that is currently poorly used for federal mandates can be distributed in a more effective manner that actually helps its intended recipients.
